Meet Nirav Owner

Nirav is a native to Long Island, who calls the village of Roslyn Heights his hometown. Born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, he attended Baruch College, NY. He graduated in 1999, majoring in Business Administration and Economics. After spending fifteen years in various, successful retail ventures, he decided to change directions. Following a lifelong passion for caring for children, he opened his first The Goddard School in Stony Brook. Nirav's goal was to have a high-quality childcare system that he had difficulty finding for his two kids. As a parent, Nirav strongly believes that every child has the potential to benefit the most in life. “Be the best person that you can be! My goal for children is to acquire a love for education, and gain a greater self-image of themselves.”

May Li's Mother

Infant Classroom

Staff is amazing- dedicated, caring. Always feel my child is in the best hands. Thoughtful, educational activities. Aside from school year programs, fun themed summer activities and special events. Director and owners always available. Had such a great experience with our older son at Goddard and currently having a great experience with our infant there.

Noah & Dylan's Mother

Infant Classroom

The nurturing environment creates a safe place for our son! He is now potty trained due to the consistency of scheduling. We love it! Safety measures include eye technology that are beyond what we expected. You will not be disappointed. Our son wakes up every morning ready to go to the Goddard School, and guess what? We let him....lol

Dominic's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Big thank you to The Goddard School! Miss Diana turns every day into an adventure, filled with learning. Which is just what we wanted. We're grateful for the care provided, transparency we’ve recieved, and the peace of mind it brings.

Emily's Mother

Infant Classroom

We are amazed on how clean it is. How well it's organized. How friendly the staff are. Our daughter is so much more confident in the one month being there, and she's learned so much (days of the week, months in the year, weather, shapes). It's been transformational for the whole family.

Payton & Declan's Father

Toddler Classroom

The staff is very welcoming and warm. The owner Nirav and Director Miss Amanda know every detail about my child and you can tell they are very involved in the school. I’ve had really bad experiences with child care previously but The Goddard School changed that for me and my child. I feel 100% comfortable with my child attending this school.

Andrew's Mother
